The California State Board of Equalization (BOE) will hold its annual Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights Hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2022, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in conjunction with the Board’s August 2022 Meeting. Taxpayers and stakeholders are invited to attend in person, participate by phone, or submit comments online on items described in the BOE’s Taxpayers’ Rights Advocate’s Annual Report, and share suggestions, comments, or concerns on California’s property tax system. Taxpayers and stakeholders can also present any ideas or changes to the Alcoholic Beverage Tax Law or comment on their experiences or issues regarding BOE services.

“Californians fund schools, local communities, and state programs by paying property taxes and the Alcoholic Beverage Tax,” said BOE Chair Malia M. Cohen. “The BOE is constitutionally and statutorily responsible for the oversight of California’s property tax system and the Alcoholic Beverage Tax, and taxpayers and stakeholders are strongly encouraged to participate and directly provide input to assist the Board in fulfilling its duties.”

To participate in person, attend the hearing at 450 N St. Auditorium, Sacramento, CA 95814; by phone, call 1-877-336-4440, access code 4192718# or submit written comments online in advance.
